I was talking about this one in particular.

Take a look at their products : Ontream. A few years ago, their ADR tapes were quite popular and they were relatively fast back then. I figure they must still have something competitive nowadays. A quick look at their ADR2 tells me that it might be what you are looking for.

Someday, you'll have to explain me what's that bushy thing about Mitsubishi in Australia...

...Who should buy either a Lite-On LTR-30123S 32x/12x/40x for 90$CDN or a Lite-On LTR-40125S 40x/12x/48x for 105$CDN at NCIX.com. I used both and they are very good (the 32x is very quiet, but of course slightly slower). Or maybe she could look for bargains at some local computer shops...

If it's a Northwood 1.6A, it's almost criminal to let it run at 1.6GHz and not at 2.13GHz or more. OTOH, if it's the older 0.18µm version, then it's ok. I wonder how much the advantage of the Athlon is over the Pentium 4? For RC5, it's absolutely ridiculous (more than a 2x factor for the same...

I saw that Aussie monkey has just restarted to ship result. It added 14 points within the last few hours.

This is beyond the acceptable line IMO. Would I be moderator, this line would have been edited and you would have received a firm warning. Having an argument turning against you isn't a valid reason to display such childish, school yard level, behavior.

Our views differ on that matter Mark, but since I don't want to high-jack this thread, I'll continue the discussion about this latter in a more appropriate place. For now, I'll just say that it's ok to be tolerant up to a point, but being overly tolerant only leads to the lost of your own...

That's something I have a hard time with. If they moved to America, they should behave like Americans. I think this is great opportunity for her to show that she's American and not Indian. Would it be me, the family would get my big broad middle finger pointed high and firmly in front of...

Among the motherboards I consider when I'm building new systems, I know the Asus A7N266 serie (pointless now since the nForce-2 is almost out) and the ols ECS K7S5A (cheapo solution, but enough if you only care about the CPU power) do support Thoroughbred. It seems to be more tricky with VIA's...

Last time I checked (3 days ago), building two completly separated single-CPU systems cost only about 10-15% more than a single dually (socket-A platform, I mean). That's when you use Athlon MP certified for MP. For the added fexibility and increased performance (any modern socket-A chipset is...

I just had a 3-4 minutes downtime 5 minutes ago. Now it's ok.

I noticed a slowdown a few hours ago, but I have no idea how long it last. I was busy elsewhere.

The waking call wasn't for you Steve. Your production has been steady for a while. I also want to congratulates Mark. He has improved considerably recently. Maybe he didn't want to let go his 8th place so easily this time, when he saw the shadow of a Mourn in his rear mirror? ;-) Anyway, I...

I know your dual-Xeon might seem very sexy to you, but it's only a plastic and metal box Bill. Come over it ;-)

Something is wrong, I'm over-producing JoJo. In fact I'm over-producing everyone else currently. Problem is : I didn't improve my setup at all. Which means it's you guys who are downgrading. While I'm very proud of being the top member of the moment, me being first with only four and a half...

Indeed. Thanks for your contribution Steve.

Then goes with any ladies' mix like B-52, Baileys or anything soft and sugary. You won't look tough (or go for dry Jack Daniels like I do), but for someone who isn't an alcohool amateur, then it might be better. See what the ladies drink and order the same thing. But don't drink too much of...

Mercutio was at Sydney's airport???

Well, maybe it was drug and not heat that made you look like that :roll: You know, you actually don't HAVE TO always be wrong you know. As for DJ and night clubs, please. Do you really believe audio fidelity is important in these places? And AFAIK, they mostly use vinyl to "scratch"...

The core_78 was only used for certain proteins. When it finished three specific units, it re-downloaded the core_65 and everything is back like before. In the meanwhile, I had a bad surprise this morning when I woke up. My three computers were down, probably because of a power failure. Since...

The same could be said about other products too : "It would be really neat if it really gave the stability and overall advantage its manufacturers say it gives..." Windows XP

Was the Redstone from me? Maybe, I don't remember. Anyway, the 4xP4 you linked isn't all that impressive. IIRC, the Redstone (was it really me?) hold 8 PIII, so I don't see why the same couldn't be achievable with P4, given that they aren't so hard to cool off. Thanks for the link anyway...

I don't think it's an efficient solution. Look at the space it takes on the board (and the PCI slots it cuts). I have no idea how good (or bad) this thing sounds, but I would be surprised if it would be better than a cheapo 20$ speaker set (20U$, not 20AU$). Maybe it can be useful in very...

BTW, my Linux box has downloaded the Gromacs client yesterday. It's version 3.1.2 and it's quite a bit different thant the previous client. It uses the FahCore_78.exe rather than the FahCore_65.exe that my other Windows 2K boxes use. Since I downloaded the client v3.1, I no longer have the...

Woohoo. From 7th to 5th overall in less than two days. However, I don't know how long I'll be able to resist to Cliptin's rising, but at least I might be able to heat him for a while when he'll re-pass me. Also, I have no idea how strong our Bartender will come back once he gets new computers...

While I don't have any picture, I suspect they must be using some sort of heat-pipe heatsinks, like those found inside Shuttle's cube PC or ECS iBuddie desknote. This is the most efficient cooling method I know for space-limited designs. Traditional cooling methods wouldn't be efficient enough...

This beast has been developped by Angstrom Microsystems. Technical Specification: Form Factor 1U (29.5" x 16.75" x 1.75") Processor 4 Athlon MP 2100+ processors Chipset AMD 760MPX RAM (max) Up to 8 GB of PC2100 DDR Max...

(Taking place in the line with a bat, ready to slam old Bill when my turn will come...)

You don't want to use SDRAM on an SiS735-based motherboard. You REALLY don't want to. The SiS735, while a very fine cheapset overall, is one of the slowest socket-A platform available when SDRAM memory is used. DDR SDRAM isn't an option for this motherboard, it is a requirement. Like Buck...

Congrats, you are both one year closer to the coffin.

I just fired up my two other systems that have been down for almost two weeks this afternoon (Thunderbird 800MHz and Athlon 500MHz). It won't fill the hole you'll leave, but it will help a bit anyway.

I should get my three regular systems back on 24x7 tomorrow. Hopefully, it will let me upper my weekly production to ~140-150 points like it was about a month ago. In my new home, I have a piece where I can put all my computers so I don't have to place them in the same room as my T.V. I was...

I updated a few downloads (Memtest86, Winamp, etc) and added a few others (the whole Windows updates section, PC-Cillin trial version). I was tired of always browsing Microsoft's web site looking for the damn SP2 for Win2K, so I linked it here to shave by updating time everytime I build a...

This is the main flaw of our society and what makes it rotten. Corruption (in this case lobbying) I mean.

I can't help you much Merc. I'm a recluse mostly because (and despite the fact that I have tried many times) most of the people I (often force myself to) meet disapoints me/don't live up to my expectations. I only wish you to have a better luck than I did. Hopefully, you'll meet some people...

What I hate is that AMD is perceived by professional wanna-bes (ie, people saying and venting they know their stuff because they have been working (almost always on hardware-unrelated jobs) for years and dress in shirt with ties, but who wouldn't be able to make a computer work from a pile of...

What AMD needs to increase its market share is : - Increased manufacturing capacity. Their deal with UMC (is it UMC or TMSC, I can't remember...) to produce their Athlon-line processors will certainly help, but it might not be enough to really compete with Intel seriously (at 50%-50% I mean)...

I'm talking about the one who signed that article at Tom's Hardware. Omid Rahmat. I mean, what's his point? Apparently, he's pissed because people talks about AMD but doesn't buy enough of their CPUs. He complains about AMD only selling retail CPUs, but blames AMD's supporters because no...

He won't have to.

Can somebody tell to Mark that Duke Nukem forever might in fact never get out?

Pbbbbt. It's not completly wrong. Everything is in the interpretation : Judging by the feedback I receive regarding the front page, it's not too far from truth. Loyal mates isn't your business, but I'm a very responsible parent : I don't have kids and I don't want to have any (or more) at...

Nope, I install my appartment more or less fonctionally this week and I start looking for a job next week. I continue to build computers every now and then in the meanwhile. But the last two days have been so hot that I can't do anything. It's like hell here. It's so hot and humid that this...

The two previous times Merc asked people to participate to this test, I ended up being a SJ. Guardian, right...I down know guardian of what, but trust me, no one is gonna touch what I'm guarding :twistd: IMO, that would be a good thing, at least regarding the psychologists. Most are crazier...

...because I moved and I'm busy elsewhere than on the Net. Situation should return to normal next week. I cannot guaranty that submitted news will be approved on a timely manner for the remaining of the week.

Being so much full of meaning, I would have expected it to be Belge rather than Swiss. Whatever.

BTW, furious cows can't fuck much of anything since they are females. Telling someone to find an enraged bull to fuck him would be painful, but more possible.

What sentence are you talking about? Simonstre's one liner? It means, in short, I'm glad to see you man. Simonstre isn't me BTW, any IP checker can confirm this.

That one is, IMO, the funniest of them all. Ok guys, since when are you spying me? I always do that.

I remember one time back in my younth when I passed newspapers (I must have been 13 back then). It was a saturday morning, maybe around 6am. The saturday newspapers were always two to three times heavier than those of the other days of the week. My delivery run took around an hour usually...
